Coming home from hockey tonight on Deerfoot from Country Hills back to Memorial was interesting. I've never seen Deerfoot with that much snow on it in my life, nor the stretch of Memorial between Deerfoot and downtown. Absolutely insane there is enough snow that traffic didn't even melt off ruts.
The wind was insane, and on the polished parts my car was getting blown sideways on the ice (heavy car with AWD, winter tires, two passengers and two hockey bags). Many parts of Deerfoot the right lane was impassible because the drifts were so massive. No sign of plows. I was curious, do they not plow because it's too dangerous? Dangerous for the operators to get to work? I thought they kept the equipment right beside Deerfoot, no?
With no plows running and the wind keeping up, it's going to be impassible tomorrow.
